Colonic gallstone is an uncommon entity with a high morbidity and mortality due to various reasons. It remains a diagnostic challenge because of delayed and non-specific presentations, especially in the elderly population, often with multiple co-morbidities. We present a case of colonic gallstone ileus with spontaneous evacuation in a 67 years female who had a threeday history of intermittent bouts of colicky abdominal pain, vomiting , constipation and progressive abdominal distension, features of large bowel obstruction treated non operatively for 72 hours and passage of the stone spontaneously.

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119

Bouveret syndrome is a form of gallstone ileus and a rare complication of chole(cysto)lithiasis. It describes gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an impacted gallstone. Here, we report a case of an 82-year-old female patient with gastric outlet obstruction and penetration of gallstones into the duodenal bulb on endoscopic imaging. Based on these findings Bouveret syndrome was diagnosed and confirmed by computed tomography.
